Patient's question:
I used to have a long period of time with the habit of masturbation, basically twice a week. Now that I have a girlfriend, I sometimes feel a strong sense of guilt, but because I worry about getting erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation, I haven't dared to suggest having sex. I want to ask if having the habit of masturbation for a long time can lead to premature ejaculation?Doctor's answer:
If masturbation is too frequent, it may lead to organic diseases such as prostate problems, which could then result in the possibility of recurring premature ejaculation. However, masturbation itself does not directly cause premature ejaculation. It is one of the indirect causes, and it may be necessary to abstain from masturbation. If you can achieve normal erection during sexual activity, it proves that it is not premature ejaculation. If you experience recurring urinary abnormalities, such as frequent urination, incomplete urination, or difficulty urinating, you should have a thorough examination of your prostatic fluid. The condition of premature ejaculation is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. Additionally, for male patients, it is crucial to seek medical treatment immediately at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the results of the examination.
